Tomorrow afternoon, I will receive a kitchen range
to replace the stunningly awful one I bought previously.

In order to lift the old unit out and ease the new one
in, I put a wheelbarrow inner tube on the deck of my
little flat cart. A piece of plywood forms the top
of this neoprene sandwich. I removed the pan drawer
on the bottom of the range and insert the cart
underneath the range.
On inflation of the tube, the range floats up!

I tested it this afternoon and it lifted the old range
easily, allowing me to slide it out of it's niche in
the counter. As you can imagine, the rig is not
overly stable and does require steadying.
That is a small price to pay, considering that the
lifting itself is as easy as pie.

That sure beats a trip to the chiropractor, Rube!

float my car in the air so I can
service the tires easily!

Oy vay!
